Ayyappan

Ayyappan (Sastha or Dharmasastha or Manikandan) is a Hindu deity, considered to be the union of Lord Vishnu and Shiva. Lord Ayyappa is considered to be the ruler of the universe, and thus meditates alongside Lord Vishnu and Shiva. He is considered to be the epitome of dharma, truth and righteousness and is often called upon to obliterate evil.
